Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Many genin from smaller ninja villages are eliminated in the knockout stage. Of course, there are exceptions; being defeated in the finals can also demonstrate the overwhelming strength of a major ninja village.

After watching one or two shows, Yun found them uninteresting and turned to leave.

After all, even if Rock Lee opened the Fifth Gate and fought Gaara fiercely, it wouldn't mean anything to Uchiha Kumo.

In this world of the Limited Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Un didn't want to change too much.

Whether it's the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Seven-Tails, or Black Zetsu, they've all hidden themselves in their original world.

Even with Yun's current level of power, it's impossible to say he could find Black Zetsu. But this world is different; even now, he probably only has a vague understanding of his own power.

There will definitely be some testing, I just hope it won't take too long.

……

Konoha, training ground.

Hyuga Neji, who had been training all day, stopped and even collapsed to the ground.

He faced Naruto before the finals. Then, thanks to the protagonist's plot armor, he was defeated by the underdog Naruto.

During the discussion about fate, I was also subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse...

Following that, Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan's main family, took out a letter left by his father, which was indeed in his father's handwriting.

After being branded as a caged bird, the hatred that had been suppressed in their hearts was pierced, and everyone began to deny their tragic fate.

Under the influence of unseen forces, even he himself was hesitant, wondering if he had really made a mistake.

My father did it willingly... to thwart the Cloud Village's plot, and to prevent a war from breaking out and causing more deaths...

Therefore... fathers are great...

The contents of the letter kept swirling in my mind, and I also tried to guess what my father was thinking at that time.

"So... is that why you look so much like me? Like that thing on your forehead..."

The sudden voice brought Neji back to his senses. He turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke and said, "From the moment I was born, my fate was decided. Just as you can see, this cursed seal can determine my life and death."

Uchiha Sasuke pondered for a moment: "It's the same and it's different. Four and a half years ago, my fate was also in the hands of others, so I chose to hide myself."

"But you... if this curse cannot be removed, then even if you hide your life, it will be of no use. It is truly pathetic that you cannot even control your own life."

Neji clenched his fists: "What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Sasuke shook his head slightly: "The letter... After the duel, in your hospital room, that big shot from the Hyuga clan didn't activate his Byakugan, so I overheard something."

"Do you think... it's not surprising that someone whose life has been controlled by others from childhood would leave behind some kind of letter?"

Hyuga Neji suddenly stood up and stared directly at Sasuke: "What exactly are you trying to say!"

The same question.

Uchiha Sasuke said in a deep voice, "As for parents... they will make many compromises for their son, sometimes even if that compromise is their life."

"And for a child of a certain age to grow up well and live safely, such a letter can make you believe in them, because only by believing in them can you survive. Isn't that right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyuga Neji's breathing became rapid.

He's not stupid; he's just deceiving himself.

After all, her father wanted her to live, and there was also Lady Hinata...

But now... all those initial ideas have been refuted by Sasuke Uchiha.

……

Chapter 391: Alone

Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha was proceeding as planned, but there were some discrepancies in the list for the final match.

After Gaara's opponent surrendered and left the arena, Sasuke and Naruto were the next to enter the ring.

Clearly, Itachi Uchiha put pressure on the Third Hokage, who also wanted to try and see if Naruto's bond could bring Sasuke back.

In his mind, the Uchiha could only be the Uchiha of Konoha, even if only one or two remained, they were still the Uchiha of Konoha.

But it's clear that Uchiha Sasuke, having learned everything from the clouds, will never return to Konoha, even though he has ties to the village there.

Both teams left the field.

"Sasuke, I've been training very hard these past six months!"

Naruto smiled confidently, clenching his fist: "I will become Hokage, and then I'll bring you back to help me! I mean what I say, so I will keep working hard!"

Sasuke, who was opposite him, shook his head slightly, not mocking him as he did in the original story. After witnessing the Nine-Tailed Fox, he went to Kumogakure and learned about the concept of a perfect Jinchuriki for the first time.

According to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox within Naruto was far stronger than that of the two from Kumogakure.

Who sealed such power within Naruto?

If one day Naruto can reach the level of a perfect Jinchuriki and fully master this power, the Sharingan's genjutsu will become useless.

His lifelong enemy... the only one he could think of was Naruto.

“You are an orphan and have never experienced what it’s like to have parents. Logically speaking, you are more tragic than me. But sometimes, you can’t understand the pain of loss if you’ve never had it.”

"After learning the whole truth, there was no place for me in Konoha. Being able to join Kumogakure is already a great blessing for me."

As Sasuke spoke, he formed the Seal of Opposition. Naruto, who had experienced the incident half a year ago, also understood that Sasuke would not be able to return until he became Hokage.

"boom!"

In a taijutsu duel, Naruto had absolutely no advantage against the three-tomoe Sharingan.

As the smoke cleared, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was formed, and the twenty-odd Narutos were nothing more than a matter of a punch or a kick.

Using shadow clones as a probe, as well as sneak attacks from behind and the sides, were all ineffective.

In the dynamic visual, the lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the shadow clone was directly scattered.

Wind Release: Wind Slash!

A wind blade suddenly attacked from the side, but Sasuke vanished instantly amidst the burst of lightning.

"Oh!"

With a side kick, Naruto's main body was completely destroyed.

Getting up was a little difficult, but Naruto still stood up: "As expected of Sasuke... Lightning Release, huh? It seems you've been training hard too, so how can I fall behind?"

He formed hand seals again, and the six shadow clones charged forward, but were quickly knocked away along with their original bodies.

Sasuke looked at Naruto: "If you could borrow the power of that guy inside you..."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment before speaking: "That power is filled with hatred. Without the ability to purify it, borrowing it will also make you unable to distinguish friend from foe. Only when I truly master that power will I be able to take you seriously as an opponent."

"Now... even if I stand up countless times, it will be meaningless."

Does it have no meaning?

He hunched over and got up again, his clothes tattered and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

But Naruto still stood up: "No matter what, I'm going to bring you back! Because... we're brothers!"

"Boom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto fell straight to the ground, but Sasuke caught him and put him down.

At the same time, a force rose up from the stands.

"Let it out, Gaara."

After a deep voice, Gaara lowered his hands, which were in hand seals, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

"Hehehehe...It's out! It's finally out!"

As laughter erupted, a massive surge of chakra filled the entire venue.

Along with that came the falling feathers.

"Has it started...?"

The Mangekyou Sharingan flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and the falling feathers disappeared in an instant.

Genma Shiranui glanced around, then fixed his gaze on Sasuke: "What does Kumogakure want? Sasuke! You grew up in Konoha!"

Sasuke turned his head to look over: "Although the Cloud Village is only here to take the exam, if Konoha cannot resolve this incident properly, then we don't mind doing something."

"asshole!"

Sasuke held a kunai across his chest, but the next moment two people appeared beside him.

Darui looked at the other party: "Your Hokage seems to be in some trouble."

Yugito also said, "If the Fourth Kazekage succeeds in assassinating the Third Hokage, it would be a very good opportunity."

The two men's words made Genma Shiranui forget his vigilance. He saw the Fourth Kazekage's kunai held against the Hokage's neck, and four Sound Ninja disguised as Anbu appeared, setting up the Four Purple Flame Formation.

The direct subordinates couldn't get in, and some were dragging the unconscious nobles away from the venue.

"How is this possible?! Lord Hokage..."

Yugito frowned. "The Kage of a village... it's not that simple. But this Fourth Kazekage gives me a strange feeling. How could someone of the Sound Ninja's size get involved?"

Darui looked at Gaara, who had gone berserk in the arena, and shook his head: "Let's go. The Jinchuriki of Sunagakure can't control such power. If they can't distinguish friend from foe, we might get caught up in it too."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them took Sasuke and disappeared in a flash.

Practice firing blanks!

Shukaku, patting its belly, was having a great time, blasting away at everything around it with its practice bullets. The shurikens and kunai that came flying through the air were like toys, completely unable to break through its defenses.

Even ninjutsu is not very effective.

"Ada...!"

A strange sound rang out, and Akai, covered in blue steam, descended from the sky. With one stomp, the air created by his foot was compressed into a cannonball, instantly shattering the sand in front of him!

Under the effect of the Feigned Sleep technique, sand and gravel kept emerging, and the reconstructed Shukaku slapped it with one claw.

Enraged that his attack had been avoided, Shukaku cried out, "Human, you've angered me!"

"Kai! Wake up the Jinchūriki above its head!"

Kakashi's voice rang out, and Guy, who was unfamiliar with the Sand Village's sealing techniques, received the information and had a target.
